Parts of Animal, Plant, & Bacteria Cells Flashcards
What is the function of the nucleus?
It contains the DNA
What is the function of the cell membrane?
It lets certain things in while keeping others out (partially permeable)
What is the function of the cell wall?
It gives the cell structure and protects it. (fully permeable)
What is the function of the vacuole?
Stores water
What is the function of mitochondria?
Releases energy in respiration
What is the function of chloroplasts?
Where photosynthesis happens
What is the function of ribosomes?
Make proteins
True or false: Both plant and animals cells have cell membranes.
True
True or false: Both plant and animals cells have cell walls.
False
True or false: Both plant and animals cells have vacuoles.
True
True or false: An animal cell’s vacuole is bigger than the plant cells’
False
How many nuclei do every cell have?
One
How many cells do bacteria have?
One
True or false: Bacteria cells don’t have nuclei.
True
Have circular DNA or bacterial chromosome that’s loose, same function
True or false: Bacteria cells don’t have DNA.
False
They don’t have nuclei, but do have DNA - it’s floating around the cell
What are plasmids?
Smaller cirlces of DNA
In what type of cell are plasmids found?
Bacteria cells
What is a flagella and what is it’s function?
Long structure that rotates to propel bacteria.
How is the cell wall in bacteria different than in plant and animal cells?
Made of peptidoglycan instead of cellulose
Same function
